Indian batting star Virat Kohli has faced a setback in latest ICC ODI rankings, losing his top spot in the batting charts. The No. 1 position has now been claimed by New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell, who climbed to the summit after a series of impressive performances in recent IND vs NZ ODI matches.

Virat Kohli had only just regained the top ranking last week, overtaking Rohit Sharma to return to the No. 1 spot for the first time since July 2021.

However, Mitchell's standout showing in the recently concluded IND-NZ ODI series proved decisive, pushing the Indian great down the rankings once again.

Mitchell's consistency and match-winning contributions during IND vs NZ ODI series played a key role in reshaping the standings, highlighting how closely contested the race for the top spot remains in ODI cricket.
